投资书籍 - 英语听力

If you like reading, then next year you could try combining your enjoyment with some financial planning by investing in your favourite books. I think a lot of people are looking for different investments and moreover something that they can actually enjoy as well as just seeing a statement with an amount of money in a bank account, and also things like 'Harry Potter', or even adults are enjoying that, although obviously it's directed at children. It's a way of having a different sort of investment. Of course it's not just really old and rare books like these that have value. Adrian, what's a popular area to collect in at the moment? Modern first editions, children's books, by far and away the most popular. And you've got one here. What the 'Harry Potter', the film sequence is out, as we all know, first edition of the first book, only 300 printed. First edition because it goes numbering sequence down to one, and this one's inscribed by J. K. Rowling which helps a lot. This book is £25.000, published in 1525, first edition of 'Hypocrites', published in 1997. They have the same value. You pay your money, you take your choice. If you're thinking of starting collecting, what are a few simple rules? Buy what you like. Always buy the best condition you can afford. Don't buy books that are sun-faded like this one. These two books are the same book and this one's been left in the sun, totally devalued. That's £120, that's £40, so it really does devalue it. Don't buy books that have been written in, like this, unless it's the author's written, and if you're collecting books, don't write in them yourself unless you do it in pencil. Never price-clip a book, it devalues it. So, keep them in the dark, write in pencil, don't price-clip. And never read them. Never read them, read the paperback. That's the trick, and build a good relationship with a dealer. I would say that, wouldn't I? But it's not a bad idea to find a dealer, especially if you're a James Bond fan. Next year it's Bond's 50th birthday, and first editions are expected to fetch anything from £5,000 to £20,000. Marcia Hughes, BBC News.


如果你喜欢读书，那么明年你可以尝试一下投资你最爱的书，从而把娱乐和理财计划合二为一。 我想许多人在寻找着与众不同的投资方式，尤其是投资真正钟爱的东西，就像考虑往银行账户上存钱一样，像《哈利·波特》就连成年人都爱读，尽管它显然是写给儿童看的。这是一种不同的投资方式。 当然并不是仅仅那些古老罕见书籍才有价值。Adrian，此时收藏的流行领域是什么？ 当今第一版的儿童读物，是非常流行的。 你这就有一本。 《哈利·波特》，我们知道电影系列已面市了，第一部的第一版只印刷了300本。第一版好，因为它是整个系列中的第一本，而且还有J. K. Rowling 题字，价值2500英镑，1525年出版的。这本1997年出版的《伪君子》第一版售价25000英镑。它们具有同样的价值。你出钱，你选择。 如果想开始收藏，有哪些简单原则呢？ 买自己喜欢的。总是买自己能支付起的最好的书。不要买这种曝晒后褪色的书。这两本是同一本书，这本一直放在太阳下，完全贬值了。这本120英镑，那本40英镑，所以真的自贬其值。不要买这种里面写过字的书，除非是作者写的。如果自己收集书，自己也不要在上面写划，除非用铅笔。不要买减价处理的书，它本身已经贬值了。所以，将书放在阴暗处，用铅笔写，不买减价处理的书。 而且从不读它们。 从不读它们，要读就读平装版。这是窍门，和经销商建立良好关系。我总这么说，对吧？ 找经销商不失为好主意，尤其如果你自己是詹姆斯·邦德迷。明年是邦德五十岁生日，第一版有望升值到5000到20000英镑。英国广播公司 Marcia Hughes的报道。
